What Is the LawnPlay Colour Pack?
The LawnPlay Colour Pack is a two-part tank mix that revives your lawn’s appearance without forcing growth. It’s perfect for use during winter, periods of dormancy, or before events when you want your lawn to look its best.
The pack includes:
- LawnPlay Deep Green – A professional-grade green pigment that binds to the leaf and mimics chlorophyll. It delivers an instant, deep green appearance without stimulating growth.
- LawnPlay Enhance – A high iron content liquid fertiliser that provides the micronutrients necessary to assist the plant in producing natural chlorophyll, subtly improving actual colour from within.
Used together, these products work both cosmetically and physiologically, giving your lawn a boost in colour and performance during tough conditions.
Why Use a Lawn Colourant in Winter or Transition?
Cooler temperatures, shorter daylight hours, and reduced soil activity often cause lawns—especially warm-season types like couch and kikuyu—to lose colour and vitality. Granular fertilisers become ineffective during this time, as the soil microbes stop mineralisation of these nutrients into plant available forms.
This is where pigment-based colourants and liquid fertilisers shine. They instantly enhance lawn appearance without the risk of overstimulating growth, which can leave lawns susceptible to frost, disease, or nutrient burn.
For homeowners, lawn contractors, and professional turf managers, LawnPlay Colour Pack provides:
- A lush green appearance during dormancy
- Better heat absorption on cooler days
- A professional finish before events, inspections, or listings
- A visual boost without excess nutrient load
When Should You Apply LawnPlay Colour Pack?
Timing is key. Here are the best-use scenarios:
- During dormancy: When your lawn turns straw-like or loses colour in winter.
- Pre-event: To prepare for parties, open homes, or inspections.
- After mowing: Colour sits best on freshly cut blades.
- Every 4–6 weeks: Reapply as pigment begins to fade, depending on mowing frequency and weather.
Avoid application before forecasted heavy rain, as pigment can wash off before fully binding. For best results, apply in the morning on a dry lawn with no rain forecast for 6–12 hours.
How to Apply LawnPlay Colour Pack Step-by-Step
- Mix Deep Green and Enhance in water at label rates.
- Shake well and agitate the tank regularly to prevent settling.
- Spray evenly using a fan nozzle sprayer, moving in a consistent pattern. It is best to treat in 2 or more direction to ensure even application.
- Allow to dry fully. Foot traffic should be avoided until the pigment sets.
Always wear gloves and avoid spraying near porous surfaces. Rinse sprayer thoroughly after use with tank cleaner.
Tips for a Natural, Even Colour Finish
- Mow first: Trimming reveals fresh leaf area and reduces leaf shading.
- Spray in two directions: Apply in a criss-cross pattern (north-south, then east-west) for even coverage.
- Avoid windy days: Drift can cause overspray on paths or walls.
- Use drop cloths: Cover nearby concrete, pavers, or fences if spraying close to edges.
- Wear washable clothing: Pigment can cause staining so it’s important to wear old shoes or gumboots that can be easily washed.
If overspray does occur, clean up immediately with soapy water before the pigment dries.
Seasonal Strategy: Lawn Colour Through the Year
While best known for winter use, colour packs can play a year-round role in your lawn strategy:
- Autumn: Apply just before dormancy sets in to retain colour longer.
- Winter: Reapply monthly to maintain consistent visual appeal.
- Spring: Use lightly as grass begins to wake up before heavy growth kicks in.
- Summer: Spot use before events or to cover stress patches.
Combining LawnPlay Colour Pack with proper nutrition ensures your lawn is healthy beneath the surface and vibrant on top.
Frequently Asked Questions About LawnPlay Colour Pack
Will it stain pavers or hard surfaces?
Yes, if oversprayed and left to dry. Use drop cloths and clean up any accidental spray immediately.
Is it safe for pets and kids?
Yes, once dry. We recommend waiting 2–3 hours before allowing traffic back on the lawn. If your dog likes to roll on the lawn it is recommended not to use this on your lawn.
Can I mow after applying?
Yes, but wait at least 2 days for the colour to bind fully. Mowing will slowly reduce the intensity over time.
How long does it last?
Typically 4–6 weeks depending on weather, mowing, and lawn type.

Yes, LawnPlay Colour Pack is safe for all common warm-season varieties including buffalo, couch, kikuyu, and zoysia.
